Back for more fun with enhanced 2FA on the account. No, I didn't make millions in bitcoin. No fancy cars, houses or watches. Share-croppers can't afford those things.

USDA changed the crop picture, but the acreage question is getting more important. Matt Bennett, @chief321, weighs corn yield, soybean acres, wheat prices, China demand and why he favors storing corn over soybeans.

Great time talking markets with Paul today.

Assessment so far. Illini offense is significantly more adept than the defense. And we have a big freakin scoreboard.
Second day in a row of a pullback seeing buying come in. Everyone has been bulled up as we've gotten to the best prices in the last three years. How bullish are you on March corn? Where does it top out before going off the board?

Given current market action and your opinion of the 2026 crop, what do you think the high for Dec26 corn will be?

Illinois Bankers wanted the best weather man money can buy-so for markets, they got who they could afford. 🤷♂️
Great time sharing the stage between our presentations. @snodgrss
Given wheat you're looking at in your fields right now, how does your corn crop compare to a year ago? Overall, I'd say our crop is similar to a year ago with the good drainage ground better and other ground quite a bit under a year ago.

Paying for the rain today whether I get it or not. Hate hearing all the folks who have missed out. I need to go outside and do a rain dance I suppose.
